750 bootstrap

We're having a little trouble with our new VAX750's bootstrap. We are
running Berkeley 4.1C, with a TU77 on a TM03 on mba1, and an RM05 on
mba0.  We installed the bootstrap just as called for in the manual, and
the first day everything worked fine. The next day we attempted to
reboot using the reset button and got:

		:hp(0,0)vmunix
		unknown drive type

I cannot guess what may have been changed to cause this to happen after it
worked the day before. (I'll probably wind up kicking myself when I find out,
but such occupational hazards are part of the job). Anyway, its sure getting
to be a bore to reboot from tape whenever it is required. Fsck's show
nothing out of line, and rewriting the boot block doesn't help.

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment.
